Though times are grim this week, our work to save the wild continues. Right now, we're working on saving red wolves by advocating for — and fundraising for — safe wildlife crossings in their habitat. Fewer than 20 red wolves now remain in the wild — after five were killed by vehicles in less than a year. Among them was Airplane Ears, the breeding male of the largest remaining pack. Airplane Ears — known for his floppy, sideways ears — was a hardworking father who dutifully hunted for his pups and nursing mate. He fathered 11 red wolf pups in two years before a vehicle struck and killed him on a state highway that passes through the wolves' refuge. It's past time for action to protect red wolves from vehicle strikes. 📷: highjenks #redwolves #saveourredwolves #redwolf #wildlifeconservation #wildlifecrossing #airplaneears #wildliferefuge
